About Vinobulin 100mcg Injection

Vinobulin 100mcg Injection belongs to the class of medications called ‘immunising agents’ used to prevent rhesus disease. Rhesus factor type D (RhD) is a special characteristic of human red blood cells. People who carry the RhD factor are called RhD positive, and those who don’t carry the RhD factor are called RhD negative. Rhesus disease occurs if there are mixed blood types of RhD-positive and RhD-negative. It can happen in the case of a pregnant woman when the mother is RhD negative, and the baby is RhD positive and people who have received mismatched transfusion ((RhD negative child or adult who have accidentally received RhD positive blood).

Vinobulin 100mcg Injection contains ‘Anti-D (Rh) immunoglobulin’, an immunising agent. Immunoglobulins or antibodies are essential to the immune response and help by protecting against viruses to prevent infection. Vinobulin 100mcg Injection works by neutralising the RhD-positive antigens that may have entered an RhD-negative person’s blood. Vinobulin 100mcg Injection is not recommended for use in positive RhD patients and individuals already immunised to RhD antigen.

Vinobulin 100mcg Injection is available as an injection and given by a healthcare professional. Vinobulin 100mcg Injection may cause side effects such as pain and tenderness at the injection site. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately.

It is not recommended to take Vinobulin 100mcg Injection if you are allergic to human immunoglobulin or other ingredients. Before taking Vinobulin 100mcg Injection, inform your doctor if you had vaccination recently within the last 2 to 4 weeks, have blood clotting problems, or have thrombocytopenia (decreased number of platelets in the blood). Vinobulin 100mcg Injection is intended for use in pregnant women and is probably safe for breastfeeding mothers. Vinobulin 100mcg Injection may not interact with alcohol and may not affect your driving ability.

Medicinal Benefits

Vinobulin 100mcg Injection contains 'Anti-D (Rh) immunoglobulin', which is used to prevent rhesus disease. Vinobulin 100mcg Injection is recommended for use in RhD-negative women who are carrying, just delivered, or have lost an RhD-positive baby. It is also recommended for RhD-negative women carrying RhD-positive babies if the pregnant woman has a severely complicated pregnancy, if the baby's RhD-positive blood passes into the mother's blood circulation, if the doctor needs to perform testing methods to identify fetal deformities, if the doctor is trying to move the baby from outside, or if the mother experiences abdominal trauma (injury to gut or stomach). Vinobulin 100mcg Injection is also administered during the third trimester of pregnancy if the pregnant woman's blood type is RhD negative. This is called routine antenatal anti-D prophylaxis. Vinobulin 100mcg Injection is also given to people who had mismatched transfusions (RhD-negative child or adult who have accidentally received RhD-positive blood).

Drug Warnings

Vinobulin 100mcg Injection is given to prevent rhesus disease in RhD-negative women after delivery of an RhD-positive child, so it is always given to the mother and not to the newborn. Vinobulin 100mcg Injection is not recommended for use in RhD positive persons and individuals already immunized to RhD antigen. Vinobulin 100mcg Injection may cause allergic reactions such as a sudden drop in blood pressure or shock, even if you have previously received human immunoglobulin and tolerated it well. In such cases, inform your doctor immediately. After a mismatched transfusion, the doctor may give you this medicine in large amounts in people given the Vinobulin 100mcg Injection. In such cases, the doctor may monitor closely and do blood tests as there is a chance of hemolytic reaction (destruction of foreign RhD-positive red blood cells).

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Undergo blood tests as recommended by the doctor during the pregnancy. It helps to determine whether you are Rh-positive or negative.
  • Consume a healthy diet.
  • Avoid alcohol and quit smoking during pregnancy, as it may lead to complications.
  • Take your medicines regularly as prescribed by your doctor.
